McMenamins Kennedy School
This 1915 elementary school was renovated in 1997 to encompass hotel rooms, bars, a movie theater, a saltwater soaking pool, a restaurant in the former cafeteria and even a working brewery set in a former girls’ lavatory.
One-of-a-kind Kennedy School is a convenient, comfortable spot for corporate events and meetings. Events are made easy: Set-up and staffing are included, and there’s no fee after the food and beverage minimum is reached.
Locally owned McMenamins has a love of historic buildings — and Kennedy School is a 1911 gem. Once an elementary school, it has been renovated into Portland’s most unique hotel. Historical photos and original artwork adorn the walls, ceilings, hallways and even the pipes. Amenities include an indoor/outdoor restaurant, bars, a movie theater, a brewery and classroom-turned-meeting rooms. It’s all on-site, but for the traveler interested in exploring Portland, the PDX airport, Oregon Convention Center and downtown Portland are just minutes away.
